He said, ‘Who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for misguided people?’

There are many people that despair of Allah’s mercy. So in the verse it is said that it is unlawful to despair of Allah’s mercy. It is unlawful to despair.

Surat al-Hijr, Verse 87

We have given you the Seven Oft-repeated* and the Magnificent Qur’an.

We draw attention to the 7 in the 87 here. For instance, in the year 2007 the economic crisis started. It will end in about 2014, insha’Allah.

Surat al-Haj, Verse 41

Those who, if We establish them firmly on the earth, will perform prayer and pay alms, and command what is right and forbid what is wrong. The end result of all affairs is with Allah.

“...perform prayer and pay alms, and command what is right and forbid what is wrong. The end result of all affairs is with Allah.” This is a verse that refers to Hazrat Mahdi (as). It explains the coming world sovereignty of Islam.

Surat az-Zariyat, Verse 23

By the Lord of heaven and earth, it is certainly the truth, just as you have speech.

By the Lord of heaven and earth, Allah swears. it is certainly the truth, just as you have speech. What does Allah promise us? The descent of Prophet Jesus (as) and the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Al Dabbat al-Ard, the appearance of Duhan and the Day of Judgment. Allah says that they will absolutely happen.

Surah Muhammed, Verse 18

What are they awaiting but for the Hour to come upon them suddenly? Its Signs have already come. What good will their Reminder be to them when it does arrive?

What are they awaiting but for the Hour to come upon them suddenly? Its Signs have already come. The portents of the Day of Judgment. The appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as). This is the first sign. He is the greatest portent of the Day of Judgment. Second; the appearance of Prophet Jesus (as), the appearance of the antichrist, Gog and Magog, and Al Dabbat al-Ard. What good will their Reminder be to them when it does arrive? Once the Day of Judgment comes, then it will be of no benefit but once they see the portents, people will have to understand it. The appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the descent of Prophet Jesus (as).

Surat Al-Jin, Verse 24

So that when they see what they were promised, they will know who has less support and smaller numbers.

So that when they see what they were promised,

they will know who has less support and smaller numbers.

In one hadith, it is stated that this verse refers to Hazrat Mahdi (as). In other words, once they see the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and Prophet Jesus (as), they will consider them to be weak, because the followers of Hazrat Mahdi (as) are so few in number. They will say, “They are only 300 people so what can they accomplish?” But Allah says that that they are few in number is not important. They will reign by the help of Allah. Allah says that the actual Might is Himself. Allah says that He will make Islam reign throughout the world although they are few in number.

Surat al-Maida, Verse 54

You who have faith! If any of you renounce your religion, Allah will bring forward a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble to the believers, fierce to the disbelievers, who strive in the Way of Allah and do not fear the blame of any censurer. That is the unbounded favor of Allah which He gives to whoever He wills. Allah is Boundless, All-Knowing.

...who strive in the Way of Allah and do not fear the blame of any censurer. People reproach others through the internet, radios, televisions, gossip and on Facebook. The followers of Hazrat Mahdi (as) do not fear from such people who do this. Allah says so. Allah says that He will make such a community appear.

That is the unbounded favor of Allah which He gives to whoever He wills. Allah is Boundless, All-Knowing.

Hadith:

Followers of Hazrat Mahdi (as); ...they will share the burden of the issues of the country. (Portents of the Day of Judgment, p.187)

Surat az-Zariyat, Verse 4

and those apportioning the command:

Allah says; those who share the issues, says Allah, and He swears. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be very self- disciplined, he will be very strict and make good use of the division of labor.

Surat az-Zariyat, Verse 17-18.

The part of the night they spent asleep was small and they would seek forgiveness before the dawn.

The part of the night they spent asleep was small; because they communicate the message of Allah.

...and they would seek forgiveness before the dawn. In the early hours of the morning they pray to Allah and repent.
